Dina  H., Babysitter in Torrance, CA 90503 with 11 years of paid experience

Hi! I'm a caring, energetic, and dependable sitter who genuinely enjoys helping children learn, grow, and have fun. I have experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children, including children with autism, and I strive to create a safe, patient, and supportive environment where every child feels comfortable and understood. I am CPR certified and have experience tutoring as well as teaching swimming, tennis, and beach volleyball. I love staying active and enjoy creating engaging activities that build confidence, encourage learning, and keep kids entertained. Whether it's helping with homework, playing outside, doing arts and crafts, or supporting bedtime routines, I aim to make every child feel cared for and every parent feel at ease. Professionally, I have spent over 10 years in project management and operations roles, which has made me highly organized, reliable, and calm under pressure. I have my own transportation and understand the importance of punctuality, communication, and trust when caring for your children. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide a fun, nurturing, and dependable childcare experience!

Dina was amazing with my two kids! They had so much fun with her from helping to make dinner to jumping around at the trampoline park. She also watched them overnight for several days and did a great job with keeping their routine going from bedtime to school drop-off. She was punctual, responsible, communicated well with us, kept us up to date on what they were doing, and was kind and understanding of any feelings the children had. They are already asking when they can stay with her again!

Kobi Z., Babysitter in Torrance, CA 90503 with 6 years of paid experience

I am a young, energetic, genuine and affectionate man. My biggest strengths are my emotional intelligence, my kindness, creativity & being an effective communicator. I have over half a decade of multifaceted childcare experience including jobs like on-call babysitting, teacher's assistant, daycare and preschool floater, and assistant P.E teacher. I currently do on call nannying for five different families, one of which I've known for six years. I am looking to add more families and gain more experience. I think choosing to hire me means that in return you get someone who is dependable, someone you can trust, someone who takes initiative and goes the extra mile, and most importantly, someone your child gets excited about spending time with.

We had a positive experience with Kobi caring for our toddler. He was consistently punctual, flexible when our schedule occasionally changed, and dependable throughout his time with our family. Noah always looked forward to seeing him, and they built a sweet relationship together. He spent plenty of time outdoors with Noah, teaching him about flowers and nature, reading books together, and keeping him active and engaged. One of our favorite traditions was that they would often bring home a flower for me after their walks, which was a thoughtful gesture that always made us smile. Kobi is kind, patient, and genuinely enjoys spending time with children. We appreciate the care he provided to our family and wish him all the best as he continues to grow in his childcare career.

Hello, I'm Jessica. I'm the oldest of 5 kids and have 2 adult kids of my own. I love working with children of all ages and have experience with special needs children and adults as well.

I've worked with children for over 25 years and its the most rewarding work for me. I am CPR/First Aid certified and have been completely vaccinated against COVID-19. I'm looking forward to working with children of all ages and backgrounds. We'll have a fun loving time and lots of smiles and giggles.

Jessica is fantastic. She’s always on time and has been available even with short notice, which we really appreciate. My daughter felt comfortable with her immediately, even though Jessica was the first person outside our family to care for her. She has such a calm, reassuring energy and a very poised personality. I would definitely work with her again.

My name is Iayana and I'm a 21 year old High School graduate and Dental assistant. I'm a reliable and caring babysitter with experience caring for children of all ages because I've taken care of siblings, cousins and family friends. I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment through activities like games, crafts, and reading, while also helping with routines such as meals, homework, and bedtime. Safety, patience, and responsibility are always my top priorities. I can update parents throughout the day on what the kids are doing and send pictures if wanted. I'm also very strict with whatever parents say the rules are.

Kevin D., Babysitter in Torrance, CA 90503 with 21 years of paid experience

I'm an energetic, dependable caregiver who connects naturally with kids, especially boys. I bring the patience and reliability of a seasoned adult with the playfulness of a "fun uncle." I keep kids active, engaged and happy through outdoor play, games, homework, activities and outings. With 20 years experience as a coach, mentor, tutor and caregiver, I especially enjoy being a positive male role model for boys--building confidence, curiosity, good habits and fun. I'm UCLA-educated, CPR-certified, and experienced with ASD & ADHD. I'm happy to help with homework, drive to school and activities, play at the park or beach, visit museums, follow family routines, or simply spend time with your children at home. I don't just supervise; I engage with kids, talk and play at their level, and build genuine relationships. My goal is to provide a safe, warm, active presence that children enjoy and parents trust. I value clear communication and hope to become a consistent, long-term family support.

Kate S.

As a single mom of an 8-year-old, finding someone I could truly trust with my son was incredibly important, and Kevin exceeded every expectation. He was dependable, communicative, and wonderful with my child... helping with school pickups, getting him to/from activities, and keeping him engaged and happy. What stood out most was the genuine connection he built with my son. He became not just a caregiver but a trusted friend of our family and a steady, positive male role model. My son always looked forward to the time they spent together, and I felt completely confident knowing he was in caring, capable hands. We only stopped working together because our family moved, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to any family looking for a responsible, kind and trustworthy caregiver!

Sabre S., Babysitter in Torrance, CA 90503 with 11 years of paid experience

Hi! I'm Sabre. I'm 29 years old, based in Inglewood, and I genuinely love working with children. For the past 11+ years, I've had the privilege of caring for kids in a variety of settings. From babysitting and daycare to my current career in ABA therapy, where I work with children on the autism spectrum. Working with children isn't just something I do, it's what I've built my career around. I'm patient, dependable, playful when it's time to be, and calm when things get a little chaotic. Whether your child needs someone to keep up with their endless energy, help stick to a routine, or simply provide a safe, caring environment while you're away, I'm someone you can trust to treat them with kindness and genuine care. I know how important it is to leave your child with someone who feels like more than just a babysitter or nanny. My goal is always to give parents peace of mind while making sure the kids have a fun, engaging, and positive experience. I'm fully vaccinated for COVID-19 and happy to answer any questions you have. I'd love the chance to meet you and your family and see if we're a great fit. I hope to chat with you soon!

Nanette is the best sitter we've ever had!! She is the only person outside of my family that I have felt 100% comfortable leaving my daughter with. She always knows what to do and you can tell that she's a great mom, which is very important in my opinion! Nanette also looks after our dog when we're out of town, and every time she comes to pick her up, our dog gets overly excited. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Nanette to anyone!

I have plenty of experience with infants/toddlers and working with parents as their child reaches their new stages of development, having my BA in Child and Adolescents development helps me navigate.

My goal is to meet your children where they are and help them grow in all areas to reach their developmental goals as well as have fun. I have multiple references of families that I have worked with including the most recent family I worked with the last few years.
